The provincial government unveiled the ClimateLeadershipPlan, leading to the creation of up to 66,000 jobs over the next ten years, and reducing net annual greenhouse gas emissions by up to 25 million tonnes below current forecasts by 2050.
The plan’s initial 21 action items include making electric vehicles more affordable and buildings more energy efficient. Government is also targeting sequestration opportunities in our forests and emission reductions in our natural gas production and processing. As demand for clean solutions increases, these actions continue to position BC for growth.
Emissions will be reduced further as subsequent actions are introduced, putting BC on course to achieve its 2050 target of an 80% reduction in emissions from 2007 levels.

The event 'Putting the Polish economy on a low-emissions track' showcased how improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions can boost skilled employment, economic growth, and access to attractive markets in Europe and abroad.

A new report from Cambridge Econometrics in collaboration with Pr Paul Ekins of University College London shows that meeting the first four carbon budgets would be economically beneficial for the UK. For more details, click here: http://bit.ly/1UntDq7
Reducing the UK’s carbon emissions in line with these budgets would, by 2030, increase UK GDP by 1.1% in net terms, result in at least 190,000 additional jobs being created across the UK economy and mean households are financially better off compared to a scenario where little is done to reduce emissions.

VW Tdi Gen 1 Emissions Fix Review

Today's Video deals with the Emission fix on my 2011Jetta Tdi. A few years ago Volkswagen was caught cheating on emission tests with their diesels. the tdi was the pride of the fleet having good power and great fuel economy. so after the scandal broke out i was left with 2 choices to either sell the car back to the dealership or keep it and get the emissions fixed. After thinking of it long and hard I decided to keep my Jetta tdi and get the emission fix on it. After putting hundreds of km's on the new fix i can honestly say that I don't notice any difference at all in the power and fuel economy.

What is Carbon Emissions Trading?

What is Carbon Emissions Trading?

What is Carbon Emissions Trading?

Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil or natural gas moves cars, produces electricity or heat. Unfortunately, it also generates carbon dioxide emissions, and drives climate change.
The European Union has decided to strongly reduce emissions. Obviously this should be done at the lowest costs to the firms and the people.
That is where the Emissions Trading comes into play:
The European Union fixes a carbon emissions target, then divides it into allowances, that each allow to emit one ton of CO2. These are now distributed to the firms. Now, for every ton of emissions, the firm needs to turn in one allowance. If it needs more or less, it can buy or sell them.
So there will be a market for allowances. A firm will now think twice before it emits carbon dioxide:
- If it is cheaper to avoid a ton of emissions and sell an allowance then the firm will do that.
- But also: The firm may choose to emit more and just buy an allowance if that increases profit.
Therefore, the firms will end up in a situation where they all face the same costs if they would want to avoid an additional ton of CO2.
That means: The cheap abatement options are used – and at the same time no firm is forced to use particularly expensive ways to reduce emissions as it can always buy allowances.
In other words: the economy has reached the emissions target in the cheapest way.

Road transport is the most important driver for increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union and is therefore critical to achieving the EU's 20% greenhouse gas reduction target in 2020. The objective is to decouple economic growth and the demand for transport with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this video Melanie Kemper from the Ecologic Institute visualizes European data on economic growth, transport and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore Benjamin Görlach, Senior Fellow at the Ecologic Institute in Berlin, explains in an interview which policy measures could help to to bring about a sustainable European transport and mobility system.

What would a low-emissions economy look like for New Zealand? The Productivity Commission is conducting an inquiry into how New Zealand can transition to a low-emissions economy, and we want your input.
We’ll be looking at ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, while still growing the incomes and wellbeing of New Zealanders. Reducing emissions is a global effort and New Zealand is aiming, by 2050, to reduce emissions to roughly half of their current level. But the challenge of reducing emissions goes beyond this date, and this inquiry will focus on long term economic pathways, to reduce emissions in a sustainable and prosperous way.
New Zealand’s emissions per person are high, and they’re rising. Our two biggest sources of emissions are methane from agriculture and carbon dioxide from transport. But we also have a forestry industry that absorbs more emissions than it produces, and an electricity industry that generates about 85 percent renewable electricity.
Agriculture makes a significant contribution to New Zealand’s economy. Yet, per person, we have the highest methane emissions in the world. However, our emissions sources can be seen as an opportunity, and New Zealand could become a world leader in innovative ways to reduce emissions in agriculture, and other areas.
The Productivity Commission has published an issues paper about the inquiry. What are the main opportunities and barriers to reducing emissions in the New Zealand economy? How do we change, while still growing the economy, and ensuring the wellbeing of all New Zealanders? How much change will be led by business, and what policies and direction from Government will be required?
We welcome submissions, and encourage you to have your say today.

So, if economics is about choices and how we use our resources, econ probably has a lot to say about the environment, right? Right! In simple terms, pollution is just a market failure. The market is producing more pollution than society wants. This week, Adriene and Jacob focus on the environment, and how economics can be used to control and reduce pollution and emissions. You'll learn about supply and demand, incentives, and how government intervention influences the environment.

A new report from Cambridge Econometrics in collaboration with Pr Paul Ekins of University College London shows that meeting the first four carbon budgets would be economically beneficial for the UK. For more details, click here: http://bit.ly/1UntDq7
Reducing the UK’s carbon emissions in line with these budgets would, by 2030, increase UK GDP by 1.1% in net terms, result in at least 190,000 additional jobs being created across the UK economy and mean households are financially better off compared to a scenario where little is done to reduce emissions.

Nordic energy cooperation is another focal point at the pavilion, celebrating 100 years of energy cooperation in the Nordic region.
In fact, the Nordics are 25 years ahead of the game when it comes to decarbonizing the electricity production, a feat to a large extent made possible by the common Nordic electricity market and the almost perfect mix of renewables present in the region.
Energy resources like wind, hydro and biomass in the different countries supplement each other very well and the energy policies of the Nordic countries has for decades secured a sound environment for long term planning.

Today's Video deals with the Emission fix on my 2011Jetta Tdi. A few years ago Volkswagen was caught cheating on emission tests with their diesels. the tdi was the pride of the fleet having good power and great fuel economy. so after the scandal broke out i was left with 2 choices to either sell the car back to the dealership or keep it and get the emissions fixed. After thinking of it long and hard I decided to keep my Jetta tdi and get the emission fix on it. After putting hundreds of km's on the new fix i can honestly say that I don't notice any difference at all in the power and fuel economy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is apparently on a mission to terminate the myth that protecting the environment hurts the economy.
The actor and former politician is in Australia to promote his new film Terminator Genisys, the first a planned new trilogy for the popular movie franchise.
He has said all countries, including Australia, need to lift their game when it comes to tackling climate change.
Schwarzenegger told Channel Ten’s The Project on Friday night, “In order for us to be successful the whole world has to work together ... Australia, Austria, the US – everybody has to work together.”

Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil or natural gas moves cars, produces electricity or heat. Unfortunately, it also generates carbon dioxide emissions, and drives climate change.
The European Union has decided to strongly reduce emissions. Obviously this should be done at the lowest costs to the firms and the people.
That is where the Emissions Trading comes into play:
The European Union fixes a carbon emissions target, then divides it into allowances, that each allow to emit one ton of CO2. These are now distributed to the firms. Now, for every ton of emissions, the firm needs to turn in one allowance. If it needs more or less, it can buy or sell them.
So there will be a market for allowances. A firm will now think twice before it emits carbon dioxide:
- If it is cheaper to avoid a ton of emissions and sell an allowance then the firm will do that.
- But also: The firm may choose to emit more and just buy an allowance if that increases profit.
Therefore, the firms will end up in a situation where they all face the same costs if they would want to avoid an additional ton of CO2.
That means: The cheap abatement options are used – and at the same time no firm is forced to use particularly expensive ways to reduce emissions as it can always buy allowances.
In other words: the economy has reached the emissions target in the cheapest way.

Road transport is the most important driver for increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union and is therefore critical to achieving the EU's 20% greenhouse gas reduction target in 2020. The objective is to decouple economic growth and the demand for transport with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this video Melanie Kemper from the Ecologic Institute visualizes European data on economic growth, transport and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore Benjamin Görlach, Senior Fellow at the Ecologic Institute in Berlin, explains in an interview which policy measures could help to to bring about a sustainable European transport and mobility system.

‘New emissions tests could mean less choice and higher prices’
We’ve been constant critics of the way official emissions and fuel economy tests have been carried out. The NEDC (laughably standing for New European Driving Cycle) tests are outdated and unrepresentative – and have been for years – so we’ve welcomed the introduction of the supposedly more real-world WLTP/RDE (World Harmonised LightVehicle Testing Procedure/RealDriving Emissions) tests that include on-road assessments and, we’re promised, will be rigorously checked.

CO2 emissions stall, even as economy grows

CO2 emissions stall, even as economy grows
For the first time, global CO2 emissions are expected to dip in 2015 despite economic growth.
Earth's industrial carbon dioxide emissions are on pace to plateau this year, according to new projections, and they might even decline. On top of 2014's relatively small increase in CO2 output, this surprising shift is raising hopes that an explosive era of greenhouse gas emissions may finally be winding down.
For most of the past 15 years, CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels increased by an average of 2.4 percent annually. But researchers from the University of East Anglia and the Global Carbon Project report that CO2 output grew by just 0.6 percent in 2014. And, more importantly, they say it may actually decline 0.6 percent in 2015.
Until now, glob...

What would a low-emissions economy look like for New Zealand? The Productivity Commission is conducting an inquiry into how New Zealand can transition to a low-emissions economy, and we want your input.
We’ll be looking at ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, while still growing the incomes and wellbeing of New Zealanders. Reducing emissions is a global effort and New Zealand is aiming, by 2050, to reduce emissions to roughly half of their current level. But the challenge of reducing emissions goes beyond this date, and this inquiry will focus on long term economic pathways, to reduce emissions in a sustainable and prosperous way.
New Zealand’s emissions per person are high, and they’re rising. Our two biggest sources of emissions are methane from agriculture and carbon dioxide f...

The impact of the EU ETS on carbon emissions and economic performance | Antoine Dechezleprêtre

California’sCar Culture Is Slowing the State's Emissions Cuts
https://youtu.be/i4qQPU13UVc
The state’s overall greenhouse gas emissions are falling while its economy grows, but longer commutes and cheap gas are boosting vehicle emissions.
California has been a model for the nation when it comes to cutting climate-warming emissions without sacrificing economic growth, but a new report shows that the state's car culture is presenting a challenge to continuing progress.
Even as fuel efficiency has improved and electric cars have begun catching on, Californians as a whole are driving more, pushed by lower gas prices and longer commutes, according to a report published today by Next 10, a California-based think tank, and Beacon Economics, an independent research firm. Emissions from the transportation sector rose in 2015, slowing the state's overall emissions reductions to just 0.34 percent that year, the most recent year with complete data.
The findings highlight the challenge the state faces, said F. NoelPerry, Next 10's founder, as it will need to cut emissions by about 5 percent per year for a decade beginning in 2020 to hit its climate goals.
"California is facing a very important and critical moment," he said. "We need probably a new set of policies to push us even stronger, faster and more efficiently to reduce these transportation emissions."
After California passed its signature climate change legislation in 2006 establishing a cap-and-trade carbon market, gross domestic product grew by nearly $5,000 per person through 2015, even as emissions fell by 12 percent, according to the report. That economic growth was nearly twice the national average, and job growth in California also outpaced the nation as a whole. Put another way, California produced nearly twice as much economic output per unit of energy than the rest of the country.
Decoupling Economic Growth from Emissions
Historically and in much of the world, emissions have climbed inexorably with economic growth, so this "decoupling" is critical to meeting the ambitious goals of the Paris climate agreement. California has been a beacon for the possibility, and it's not alone. A December report from the Brookings Institution found that more than 30 states have cut emissionswhile expanding their economies, many at even higher rates than California.
Even as PresidentDonald Trumpbegins to unravel federal efforts to cut emissions, political leaders in California have sought to strengthen the state's climate policies. In July, state lawmakers passed a bill extending the state's cap-and-trade system through 2030.
So far, California has largely remained on track to meet its ambitious climate goals, which aim to cut emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 40 percent below that by 2030. Renewable energy sources accounted for 27 percent of electricity generation last year, ahead of a required 25 percent. And the 2020 emissions target is well within reach. But the cuts will need to accelerate dramatically after 2020. And now, thanks mostly to cars, they're moving in the opposite direction.
The transportation sector now accounts for nearly 40 percent of the state's greenhouse gas emissions, with most of that coming from passenger vehicles. Californians drove an additional 2.7 billion miles in 2015, overwhelming any gains made in fuel efficiency. Housing costs are pushing people to move farther from work, the report says, and public transportation ridership was down across the state and the nation as a whole. Nationally, the Trump administration has begun the process of reviewing federal fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks. California has its own fuel efficiency standards, but they require a federal waiver.
Electric CarsHold Potential, but Charging Network Lags
State officials are hoping that electric cars may help reverse the growth in vehicle emissions. They've set a goal of getting 1.5 million zero-emissions vehicles on the road by 2025 and have implemented a $133 million rebate program. As of the end of last year, California accounted for more than half of all zero-emissions vehicles sales in the country, according to the report. And in the first three months of this year, they made up 5 percent of all auto sales in the state.

California has been a model for the nation when it comes to cutting climate-warming emissions without sacrificing economic growth, but a new report shows that the state's car culture is presenting a challenge to continuing progress.
Even as fuel efficiency has improved and electric cars have begun catching on, Californians as a whole are driving more, pushed by lower gas prices and longer commutes, according to a report published today by Next 10, a California-based think tank, and Beacon Economics, an independent research firm. Emissions from the transportation sector rose in 2015, slowing the state's overall emissions reductions to just 0.34 percent that year, the most recent year with complete data.
The findings highlight the challenge the state faces, said F. NoelPerry, Next 10's founder, as it will need to cut emissions by about 5 percent per year for a decade beginning in 2020 to hit its climate goals.
"California is facing a very important and critical moment," he said. "We need probably a new set of policies to push us even stronger, faster and more efficiently to reduce these transportation emissions."
After California passed its signature climate change legislation in 2006 establishing a cap-and-trade carbon market, gross domestic product grew by nearly $5,000 per person through 2015, even as emissions fell by 12 percent, according to the report. That economic growth was nearly twice the national average, and job growth in California also outpaced the nation as a whole. Put another way, California produced nearly twice as much economic output per unit of energy than the rest of the country.
Decoupling Economic Growth from Emissions
Historically and in much of the world, emissions have climbed inexorably with economic growth, so this "decoupling" is critical to meeting the ambitious goals of the Paris climate agreement. California has been a beacon for the possibility, and it's not alone. A December report from the Brookings Institution found that more than 30 states have cut emissionswhile expanding their economies, many at even higher rates than California.
Even as PresidentDonald Trumpbegins to unravel federal efforts to cut emissions, political leaders in California have sought to strengthen the state's climate policies. In July, state lawmakers passed a bill extending the state's cap-and-trade system through 2030.
So far, California has largely remained on track to meet its ambitious climate goals, which aim to cut emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 40 percent below that by 2030. Renewable energy sources accounted for 27 percent of electricity generation last year, ahead of a required 25 percent. And the 2020 emissions target is well within reach. But the cuts will need to accelerate dramatically after 2020. And now, thanks mostly to cars, they're moving in the opposite direction.
The transportation sector now accounts for nearly 40 percent of the state's greenhouse gas emissions, with most of that coming from passenger vehicles. Californians drove an additional 2.7 billion miles in 2015, overwhelming any gains made in fuel efficiency. Housing costs are pushing people to move farther from work, the report says, and public transportation ridership was down across the state and the nation as a whole. Nationally, the Trump administration has begun the process of reviewing federal fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks. California has its own fuel efficiency standards, but they require a federal waiver.
Electric CarsHold Potential, but Charging Network Lags
State officials are hoping that electric cars may help reverse the growth in vehicle emissions. They've set a goal of getting 1.5 million zero-emissions vehicles on the road by 2025 and have implemented a $133 million rebate program. As of the end of last year, California accounted for more than half of all zero-emissions vehicles sales in the country, according to the report. And in the first three months of this year, they made up 5 percent of all auto sales in the state.

CO2 emissions stall, even as economy grows
For the first time, global CO2 emissions are expected to dip in 2015 despite economic growth.
Earth's industrial carbon dioxide emissions are on pace to plateau this year, according to new projections, and they might even decline. On top of 2014's relatively small increase in CO2 output, this surprising shift is raising hopes that an explosive era of greenhouse gas emissions may finally be winding down.
For most of the past 15 years, CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels increased by an average of 2.4 percent annually. But researchers from the University of East Anglia and the Global Carbon Project report that CO2 output grew by just 0.6 percent in 2014. And, more importantly, they say it may actually decline 0.6 percent in 2015.
Until now, global CO2 emissions have only fallen during economic downturns, like the collapse of the Soviet Union or the 2008 financial crisis. But if these new forecasts hold true, 2015 would mark the first modern dip in CO2 emissions while the global economy is growing. It may not represent a true "carbon peak" — even the study's authors say emissions will likely rise again — but it does offer timely evidence that economic prosperity and ecological responsibility aren't mutually exclusive.
World leaders and diplomats are currently in Paris for major U.N. climate talks, which are meant to produce a new worldwide treaty for reining in CO2 emissions. The summit was already expected to succeed where many others have failed, but this kind of reminder about the economics of CO2 cuts can only help matters.
"We have broken the old arguments for inaction," U.S. PresidentBarack Obama said in a speech on the summit's opening day on Nov. 30. "We have proved that strong economic growth and a safer environment no longer have to conflict with one another; they can work in concert with one another."
Published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the new findings are attributed largely to China, whose ranking as the No. 1 net emitter of CO2 puts it in a unique position to influence global emissions trends. "China is trying to deal massively with its air pollution problem," study co-author Corinne Le Quéré, director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate ChangeResearch at the University of East Anglia, tells Nature News. "And its renewables are growing very fast."
There are still uncertainties about China's self-reported CO2 data, highlighted last month by news that China has been burning up to 17 percent more coal per yearthan its government had previously stated. Le Quéré says her research team factored China's revised data into their new analysis, but she acknowledges that more transparency is needed in reporting of national CO2 emissions.
"We don't have the capacity to check the energy reports of the countries," she says. "We have to rely on the countries to tell us what types of coal they use and how clean it is. If the reporting was systematic, it would be wonderful."
That kind of transparency is one goal of the Paris talks — formally known as COP21, short for "Conference of Parties" — where diplomats are working on ways to track and verify each country's emissions. But in the meantime, based on China's own data plus ongoing economic trends, the new study projects Chinese CO2 emissions alone will decrease by nearly 4 percent in 2015. After long resisting the idea of CO2 limits, China recently pledged that its emissions will peak by 2030.

Today's Video deals with the Emission fix on my 2011Jetta Tdi. A few years ago Volkswagen was caught cheating on emission tests with their diesels. the tdi was the pride of the fleet having good power and great fuel economy. so after the scandal broke out i was left with 2 choices to either sell the car back to the dealership or keep it and get the emissions fixed. After thinking of it long and hard I decided to keep my Jetta tdi and get the emission fix on it. After putting hundreds of km's on the new fix i can honestly say that I don't notice any difference at all in the power and fuel economy.

What would a low-emissions economy look like for New Zealand? The Productivity Commission is conducting an inquiry into how New Zealand can transition to a low-emissions economy, and we want your input.
We’ll be looking at ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, while still growing the incomes and wellbeing of New Zealanders. Reducing emissions is a global effort and New Zealand is aiming, by 2050, to reduce emissions to roughly half of their current level. But the challenge of reducing emissions goes beyond this date, and this inquiry will focus on long term economic pathways, to reduce emissions in a sustainable and prosperous way.
New Zealand’s emissions per person are high, and they’re rising. Our two biggest sources of emissions are methane from agriculture and carbon dioxide from transport. But we also have a forestry industry that absorbs more emissions than it produces, and an electricity industry that generates about 85 percent renewable electricity.
Agriculture makes a significant contribution to New Zealand’s economy. Yet, per person, we have the highest methane emissions in the world. However, our emissions sources can be seen as an opportunity, and New Zealand could become a world leader in innovative ways to reduce emissions in agriculture, and other areas.
The Productivity Commission has published an issues paper about the inquiry. What are the main opportunities and barriers to reducing emissions in the New Zealand economy? How do we change, while still growing the economy, and ensuring the wellbeing of all New Zealanders? How much change will be led by business, and what policies and direction from Government will be required?
We welcome submissions, and encourage you to have your say today.

Muhammad Yunus: "A World of Three Zeros: The New Economics of Zero Poverty [...]" | Talks at Google

A winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and bestselling author of "Banker to the Poor," Muhammad Yunus Comes to Google to talk about his new book "A World of Three Zeroes?"
Joining him on stage is Google X Quantumagician, Jack Hidary, for a fireside chat.
Muhammad Yunus, who pioneered microcredit and social business, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in alleviating poverty, is one of today's most trenchant social critics. Now he declares it's time to admit that the capitalist engine is broken--that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, massive unemployment, and environmental destruction. We need a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest.
Is this a pipe dream? Not at all. In the last decade, thousand...

How the rich get richer – money in the world economy | DW Documentary

Exploding real estate prices, zero interest rate and a rising stock market – the rich are getting richer. What danger lies in wait for average citizens?
For years, the world’s central banks have been pursuing a policy of cheap money. The first and foremost is the ECB (European Central Bank), which buys bad stocks and bonds to save banks, tries to fuel economic growth and props up states that are in debt. But what relieves state budgets to the tune of hundreds of billions annoys savers: interest rates are close to zero.
The fiscal policies of the central banks are causing an uncontrolled global deluge of money. Experts are warning of new bubbles. In real estate, for example: it’s not just in German cities that prices are shooting up. In London, a one-bed apartment can easily cost more th...

Tim Jackson: Prosperity Without Growth

So much of the analysis of how we respond to climate change assumes that economic growth and emissions reduction are compatible goals. But is this wishful thinking? To question maximising economic growth as an organising principle of society seems close to economic heresy.
EnterTim Jackson, a professor of Sustainable Development and author of the book, "Prosperity Without Growth". He argues it's time to re-think the very notion of growth and what it means to be genuinely prosperous.
Jackson is speaking as part of the 2010Alfred DeakinLecture series, "Brave New World?". Curated by Tim Flannery, the 2010 Deakins presents the climate change challenge from ten different perspectives, with a focus on ten different spheres of life.

The VW emissions scandal – past, present and future | DW Documentary

The VW diesel emissions affair is the biggest scandal to hit German industry since WWII. The resulting bill for Volkswagen so far amounts to over €22 billion.
But what happens to the cars that drivers purchased on the assumption that they were acquiring an environmentally friendly product? In Europe VW is refitting those vehicles with updated software in order to reduce emissions - but is that enough?
For years VW sold diesel cars with an illegal device that turned off emissions-control systems in real-world driving conditions - while the same model passed official lab tests for harmful nitrogen oxides. After the fraudulent setup was discovered by American authorities, VW was ordered to refit the vehicles to at least approximately meet regulatory limits during normal driving. The carmake...

UCL-Energy seminar: 'Relationship between materials, energy, emissions and the economy -- Applications to ClimatePolicy', Professor John Barrett, University of LeedsHeld at University College London on Tuesday 25 February 2014
While the latest and past IPCC reports have been clear on the scale of the challenge to achieve a reasonable probability of limiting temperature rise to 2 degrees, this urgency has not been translated into equitable carbon budgets for countries let alone the generation of a coherent climate change mitigation plan. Climate policy has tended to ignore the fundamental driver of emissions; Consumption. This is not helped by the fact that GHG emissions are accounting for on a territorial basis, meaning that the emissions embodied in goods and services produced outside the UK are the responsibility of another country. If rapid reduction in emissions is to occur, strategies and policies addressing both the composition and absolute level of consumption must be introduced urgently.

Muhammad Yunus: "A World of Three Zeros: The New Economics of Zero Poverty [...]" | Talks at Google

A winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and bestselling author of "Banker to the Poor," Muhammad Yunus Comes to Google to talk about his new book "A World of Three Zeroes?"
Joining him on stage is Google X Quantumagician, Jack Hidary, for a fireside chat.
Muhammad Yunus, who pioneered microcredit and social business, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in alleviating poverty, is one of today's most trenchant social critics. Now he declares it's time to admit that the capitalist engine is broken--that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, massive unemployment, and environmental destruction. We need a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest.
Is this a pipe dream? Not at all. In the last decade, thousands of people and organizations have already embraced Yunus's vision of a new form of capitalism, launching innovative social businesses designed to serve human needs rather than accumulate wealth. They are bringing solar energy to millions of homes in Bangladesh; turning thousands of unemployed young people into entrepreneurs through equity investments; financing female-owned businesses in cities across the United States; bringing mobility, shelter, and other services to the rural poor in France; and creating a global support network to help young entrepreneurs launch their start-ups.
In A World of Three Zeros, Yunus describes the new civilization emerging from the economic experiments his work has helped to inspire. He explains how global companies like McCain, Renault, Essilor, and Danone got involved with this new economic model through their own social action groups, describes the ingenious new financial tools now funding social businesses, and sketches the legal and regulatory changes needed to jumpstart the next wave of socially driven innovations. And he invites young people, business and political leaders, and ordinary citizens to join the movement and help create the better world we all dream of.

How the rich get richer – money in the world economy | DW Documentary

Exploding real estate prices, zero interest rate and a rising stock market – the rich are getting richer. What danger lies in wait for average citizens?
For years, the world’s central banks have been pursuing a policy of cheap money. The first and foremost is the ECB (European Central Bank), which buys bad stocks and bonds to save banks, tries to fuel economic growth and props up states that are in debt. But what relieves state budgets to the tune of hundreds of billions annoys savers: interest rates are close to zero.
The fiscal policies of the central banks are causing an uncontrolled global deluge of money. Experts are warning of new bubbles. In real estate, for example: it’s not just in German cities that prices are shooting up. In London, a one-bed apartment can easily cost more than a million Euro. More and more money is moving away from the real economy and into the speculative field. Highly complex financial bets are taking place in the global casino - gambling without checks and balances. The winners are set from the start: in Germany and around the world, the rich just get richer. ProfessorMax Otte says: "This flood of money has caused a dangerous redistribution. Those who have, get more." But with low interest rates, any money in savings accounts just melts away. Those with debts can be happy. But big companies that want to swallow up others are also happy: they can borrow cheap money for their acquisitions. Coupled with the liberalization of the financial markets, money deals have become detached from the real economy. But it’s not just the banks that need a constant source of new, cheap money today. So do states. They need it to keep a grip on their mountains of debt. It’s a kind of snowball system. What happens to our money? Is a new crisis looming? The film 'The MoneyDeluge' casts a new and surprising light on our money in these times of zero interest rates.

Chris Anderson introduces Muhammad Yunus who describes his vision of a compassionate, sustainable global economy. He calls this "a world of three zeros": zero poverty, zero unemployment, zero net carbon emissions.
Bold targets demand bold action. How will we get there?
This session "A World Of Three Zeros: The New Economics of ZeroPoverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Net Carbon Emissions" features:
Muhammad Yunus Nobel Prize Laureate; Co-Founder, Yunus SocialBusinessUgandaGlobal Initiatives
Chris Anderson, HeadCurator, TEDNobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus is the father of microcredit and social business, Founder ofGrameen Bank and of more than 50 other companies. Fortune Magazine named him 'one of 12 greatest entrepreneurs of our time'. Professor Yunus received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Grameen Bank Project and is one of seven people to have received the Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom and the US Congressional Gold Medal. He received his BA and PhD in Economics and is the recipient of more than 50 honorary degrees.
Chris Anderson
I’m a Brit, born in a remote village in Pakistan, in 1957, and spent my early years in Pakistan, India and (pre-war, beautiful) Afghanistan, where my father worked as a missionary eye surgeon. I have two sisters—one is five years older than the other, and I’m right in the middle. We went to a wonderful (American) school in the Himalayan mountains in India for our early schooling years. At 13 I was transferred to boarding school in Bath, England… followed by Oxford University.
Initially studied Physics, but switched to Philosophy and graduated in 1978. I entered journalism training, worked in local newspapers and then spent two years producing a world news service on a radio station in the Seychelle Islands. Back in the UK in 1984 I got hooked on computing, and snagged a job as magazine editor of one of the early computer magazines. After a year, decided to try to launch my own. I started Future Publishing in 1985 with a $25,000 bank loan and no outside equity investors. For seven years, revenue and profits pretty much doubled every year… Then I sold the business to Pearson and moved to the US in 1994 to try again in a bigger playing field.
Imagine Media achieved significant success with Business 2.0 and other magazines. I eventually re-merged Imagine with Future and took the entity public in London in June 1999. We enjoyed a year of stock-market glory (2000 people, ridiculous market cap, 130 magazines, etc, etc.) but then… …the popping of the technology bubble in 2000 meant that our advertisers and investors ran for the hills and Future had to be slashed to its core. Half the company lost their jobs. A tough two years followed, in which, like many other entrepreneurs of the time, I saw 95% of the value I thought I’d built evaporate. (And for a while it looked like it it would be 100%!)
Future finally regained financial stability, partly through the timely sale of Business 2.0. I felt re-energized and ready to move on. I left Future at the end of 2001 to focus on TED, which had been acquired by my foundation. Overseeing TED’s continued growth, and movement into new areas (such as this website) has been a blast.

California leads the nation in energy-efficiency standards, thanks to legislation that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emission levels by 2020 through smarter energy use and adopting renewable technologies. How is the cap-and-trade program performing in cutting emissions and generating revenue? What's our track record in implementing solar, wind and other forms of renewables? Is additional innovation needed to move the state beyond dependence on carbon-based systems? Can the energy grid of the future accommodate the demands of a growing population?

Some people seem to exist solely to make other people feel lazy.
Gunter Pauli's numerous activities span business, culture, science, politics and the environment. He founded the "Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives" (ZERI) with the ambitious goal of developing new business models that operate without emissions or waste. From redesigning mining operations to investment banking, there is little that escapes Gunters scrutiny.
A self-proclaimed global nomad, he speaks seven languages and has lived in four continents. In between all of this moving around, he has managed to write 17 books and 36 children's fables connecting science and emotion.
One of his latest books "The Blue Economy" gives a stunning overview of business models that manage to generate social capital in a sustainable way and that are truly competitive. On the off-chance that you are a skeptic, Gunter has personally helped realize well over 50 demonstrations of these new approaches.
This presentation comes with only one warning: when Gunter finishes talking, you might just want to get up and start doing stuff.
Recorded on September 5th2010 at the Zoo of Antwerp.

So much of the analysis of how we respond to climate change assumes that economic growth and emissions reduction are compatible goals. But is this wishful thinking? To question maximising economic growth as an organising principle of society seems close to economic heresy.
EnterTim Jackson, a professor of Sustainable Development and author of the book, "Prosperity Without Growth". He argues it's time to re-think the very notion of growth and what it means to be genuinely prosperous.
Jackson is speaking as part of the 2010Alfred DeakinLecture series, "Brave New World?". Curated by Tim Flannery, the 2010 Deakins presents the climate change challenge from ten different perspectives, with a focus on ten different spheres of life. Are we, the series asks, willing to take the hard personal, political and economic choices that will truly reduce emissions? Are we brave enough to make the changes -- in thought and deed -- that are required of us? Are we able to shape this new world, or will it shape us?
The Deakins were started in May 2001, as part of the celebrations surrounding the Centenary of Federation. Some of Australia's top thinkers came together with key international guests to present their ideas about the nature and future of a civil society. The lecture series was named to honour the legacy of Alfred Deakin, Australia's second Prime Minister, a humanist and nation-builder whose social vision put in place much of Australia's political and social infrastructure.
Tim Jackson is Professor of Sustainable Development at the University of Surrey and Director of the ResearchGroup on Lifestyles, Values and Environment (RESOLVE). Since 2004, Jackson has been Economics Commissioner on the UK Sustainable Development Commission and is the author of their controversial and groundbreaking report, now updated and expanded in the book, "Prosperity Without Growth: Economics for a FinitePlanet". In addition to his academic work, he is an award-winning playwright with numerous radio-writing credits for the BBC.

...

The VW diesel emissions affair is the biggest scandal to hit German industry since WWII. The resulting bill for Volkswagen so far amounts to over €22 billion.
But what happens to the cars that drivers purchased on the assumption that they were acquiring an environmentally friendly product? In Europe VW is refitting those vehicles with updated software in order to reduce emissions - but is that enough?
For years VW sold diesel cars with an illegal device that turned off emissions-control systems in real-world driving conditions - while the same model passed official lab tests for harmful nitrogen oxides. After the fraudulent setup was discovered by American authorities, VW was ordered to refit the vehicles to at least approximately meet regulatory limits during normal driving. The carmaker has already had to buy back over 250,000 diesel cars in the US, and has since been working on technical solutions. In Germany the government has been facing a dilemma. In order for the vehicles to comply with statutory nitrogen oxide limits, the company would have to refit them with an emissions control system called "selective catalytic reduction" - at a huge financial cost estimated by some analysts to be at least €10bn. With thousands of jobs probably under threat, the government struck a deal that allowed VW to instead perform a relatively cheap software update. While the diesel-powered cars in question would then meet legal requirements, measurements carried out on "refitted" vehicles present a different picture.

Low emissions economy - issues paper

What would a low-emissions economy look like for New Zealand? The Productivity Commission is conducting an inquiry into how New Zealand can transition to a low-emissions economy, and we want your input.
We’ll be looking at ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, while still growing the incomes and wellbeing of New Zealanders. Reducing emissions is a global effort and New Zealand is aiming, by 2050, to reduce emissions to roughly half of their current level. But the challenge of reducing emissions goes beyond this date, and this inquiry will focus on long term economic pathways, to reduce emissions in a sustainable and prosperous way.
New Zealand’s emissions per person are high, and they’re rising. Our two biggest sources of emissions are methane from agriculture and carbon dioxide from transport. But we also have a forestry industry that absorbs more emissions than it produces, and an electricity industry that generates about 85 percent renewable electricity.
Agriculture makes a significant contribution to New Zealand’s economy. Yet, per person, we have the highest methane emissions in the world. However, our emissions sources can be seen as an opportunity, and New Zealand could become a world leader in innovative ways to reduce emissions in agriculture, and other areas.
The Productivity Commission has published an issues paper about the inquiry. What are the main opportunities and barriers to reducing emissions in the New Zealand economy? How do we change, while still growing the economy, and ensuring the wellbeing of all New Zealanders?

Correlation between Economic growth of a Country and CO2 emissions

In this video we try to see if there is a correlation between the economic development of ...

The provincial government unveiled the ClimateLeadershipPlan, leading to the creation of up to 66,000 jobs over the next ten years, and reducing net annual greenhouse gas emissions by up to 25 million tonnes below current forecasts by 2050.
The plan’s initial 21 action items include making electric vehicles more affordable and buildings more energy efficient. Government is also targeting sequestration opportunities in our forests and emission reductions in our natural gas production and processing. As demand for clean solutions increases, these actions continue to position BC for growth.
Emissions will be reduced further as subsequent actions are introduced, putting BC on course to achieve its 2050 target of an 80% reduction in emissions from 2007 levels.

Environmental Econ: Crash Course Economics #22

So, if economics is about choices and how we use our resources, econ probably has a lot to say about the environment, right? Right! In simple terms, pollution is just a market failure. The market is producing more pollution than society wants. This week, Adriene and Jacob focus on the environment, and how economics can be used to control and reduce pollution and emissions. You'll learn about supply and demand, incentives, and how government intervention influences the environment.

Reducing our carbon emissions makes economic sense

A new report from Cambridge Econometrics in collaboration with Pr Paul Ekins of University College London shows that meeting the first four carbon budgets would be economically beneficial for the UK. For more details, click here: http://bit.ly/1UntDq7
Reducing the UK’s carbon emissions in line with these budgets would, by 2030, increase UK GDP by 1.1% in net terms, result in at least 190,000 additional jobs being created across the UK economy and mean households are financially better off compared to a scenario where little is done to reduce emissions.

Decoupling CO2 emissions and economic growth

Nordic energy cooperation is another focal point at the pavilion, celebrating 100 years of energy cooperation in the Nordic region.
In fact, the Nordics are 25 years ahead of the game when it comes to decarbonizing the electricity production, a feat to a large extent made possible by the common Nordic electricity market and the almost perfect mix of renewables present in the region.
Energy resources like wind, hydro and biomass in the different countries supplement each other very well and the energy policies of the Nordic countries has for decades secured a sound environment for long term planning.

‘New emissions tests could mean less choice and higher prices’

‘New emissions tests could mean less choice and higher prices’
We’ve been constant critics of the way official emissions and fuel economy tests have been carried out. The NEDC (laughably standing for New European Driving Cycle) tests are outdated and unrepresentative – and have been for years – so we’ve welcomed the introduction of the supposedly more real-world WLTP/RDE (World Harmonised LightVehicle Testing Procedure/RealDriving Emissions) tests that include on-road assessments and, we’re promised, will be rigorously checked.

California’s Car Culture Is Slowing the State's Emissions Cuts

California’sCar Culture Is Slowing the State's Emissions Cuts
https://youtu.be/i4qQPU13UVc
The state’s overall greenhouse gas emissions are falling while its economy grows, but longer commutes and cheap gas are boosting vehicle emissions.
California has been a model for the nation when it comes to cutting climate-warming emissions without sacrificing economic growth, but a new report shows that the state's car culture is presenting a challenge to continuing progress.
Even as fuel efficiency has improved and electric cars have begun catching on, Californians as a whole are driving more, pushed by lower gas prices and longer commutes, according to a report published today by Next 10, a California-based think tank, and Beacon Economics, an independent research firm. Emissions from the transportation sector rose in 2015, slowing the state's overall emissions reductions to just 0.34 percent that year, the most recent year with complete data.
The findings highlight the challenge the state faces, said F. NoelPerry, Next 10's founder, as it will need to cut emissions by about 5 percent per year for a decade beginning in 2020 to hit its climate goals.
"California is facing a very important and critical moment," he said. "We need probably a new set of policies to push us even stronger, faster and more efficiently to reduce these transportation emissions."
After California passed its signature climate change legislation in 2006 establishing a cap-and-trade carbon market, gross domestic product grew by nearly $5,000 per person through 2015, even as emissions fell by 12 percent, according to the report. That economic growth was nearly twice the national average, and job growth in California also outpaced the nation as a whole. Put another way, California produced nearly twice as much economic output per unit of energy than the rest of the country.
Decoupling Economic Growth from Emissions
Historically and in much of the world, emissions have climbed inexorably with economic growth, so this "decoupling" is critical to meeting the ambitious goals of the Paris climate agreement. California has been a beacon for the possibility, and it's not alone. A December report from the Brookings Institution found that more than 30 states have cut emissionswhile expanding their economies, many at even higher rates than California.
Even as PresidentDonald Trumpbegins to unravel federal efforts to cut emissions, political leaders in California have sought to strengthen the state's climate policies. In July, state lawmakers passed a bill extending the state's cap-and-trade system through 2030.
So far, California has largely remained on track to meet its ambitious climate goals, which aim to cut emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 40 percent below that by 2030. Renewable energy sources accounted for 27 percent of electricity generation last year, ahead of a required 25 percent. And the 2020 emissions target is well within reach. But the cuts will need to accelerate dramatically after 2020. And now, thanks mostly to cars, they're moving in the opposite direction.
The transportation sector now accounts for nearly 40 percent of the state's greenhouse gas emissions, with most of that coming from passenger vehicles. Californians drove an additional 2.7 billion miles in 2015, overwhelming any gains made in fuel efficiency. Housing costs are pushing people to move farther from work, the report says, and public transportation ridership was down across the state and the nation as a whole. Nationally, the Trump administration has begun the process of reviewing federal fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks. California has its own fuel efficiency standards, but they require a federal waiver.
Electric CarsHold Potential, but Charging Network Lags
State officials are hoping that electric cars may help reverse the growth in vehicle emissions. They've set a goal of getting 1.5 million zero-emissions vehicles on the road by 2025 and have implemented a $133 million rebate program. As of the end of last year, California accounted for more than half of all zero-emissions vehicles sales in the country, according to the report. And in the first three months of this year, they made up 5 percent of all auto sales in the state.

CO2 emissions stall, even as economy grows

CO2 emissions stall, even as economy grows
For the first time, global CO2 emissions are expected to dip in 2015 despite economic growth.
Earth's industrial carbon dioxide emissions are on pace to plateau this year, according to new projections, and they might even decline. On top of 2014's relatively small increase in CO2 output, this surprising shift is raising hopes that an explosive era of greenhouse gas emissions may finally be winding down.
For most of the past 15 years, CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels increased by an average of 2.4 percent annually. But researchers from the University of East Anglia and the Global Carbon Project report that CO2 output grew by just 0.6 percent in 2014. And, more importantly, they say it may actually decline 0.6 percent in 2015.
Until now, global CO2 emissions have only fallen during economic downturns, like the collapse of the Soviet Union or the 2008 financial crisis. But if these new forecasts hold true, 2015 would mark the first modern dip in CO2 emissions while the global economy is growing. It may not represent a true "carbon peak" — even the study's authors say emissions will likely rise again — but it does offer timely evidence that economic prosperity and ecological responsibility aren't mutually exclusive.
World leaders and diplomats are currently in Paris for major U.N. climate talks, which are meant to produce a new worldwide treaty for reining in CO2 emissions. The summit was already expected to succeed where many others have failed, but this kind of reminder about the economics of CO2 cuts can only help matters.
"We have broken the old arguments for inaction," U.S. PresidentBarack Obama said in a speech on the summit's opening day on Nov. 30. "We have proved that strong economic growth and a safer environment no longer have to conflict with one another; they can work in concert with one another."
Published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the new findings are attributed largely to China, whose ranking as the No. 1 net emitter of CO2 puts it in a unique position to influence global emissions trends. "China is trying to deal massively with its air pollution problem," study co-author Corinne Le Quéré, director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate ChangeResearch at the University of East Anglia, tells Nature News. "And its renewables are growing very fast."
There are still uncertainties about China's self-reported CO2 data, highlighted last month by news that China has been burning up to 17 percent more coal per yearthan its government had previously stated. Le Quéré says her research team factored China's revised data into their new analysis, but she acknowledges that more transparency is needed in reporting of national CO2 emissions.
"We don't have the capacity to check the energy reports of the countries," she says. "We have to rely on the countries to tell us what types of coal they use and how clean it is. If the reporting was systematic, it would be wonderful."
That kind of transparency is one goal of the Paris talks — formally known as COP21, short for "Conference of Parties" — where diplomats are working on ways to track and verify each country's emissions. But in the meantime, based on China's own data plus ongoing economic trends, the new study projects Chinese CO2 emissions alone will decrease by nearly 4 percent in 2015. After long resisting the idea of CO2 limits, China recently pledged that its emissions will peak by 2030.

VW Tdi Gen 1 Emissions Fix Review

Today's Video deals with the Emission fix on my 2011Jetta Tdi. A few years ago Volkswagen was caught cheating on emission tests with their diesels. the tdi was the pride of the fleet having good power and great fuel economy. so after the scandal broke out i was left with 2 choices to either sell the car back to the dealership or keep it and get the emissions fixed. After thinking of it long and hard I decided to keep my Jetta tdi and get the emission fix on it. After putting hundreds of km's on the new fix i can honestly say that I don't notice any difference at all in the power and fuel economy.
